It looks like Anderson Han's wish is coming true as Trickcal Re:Vive, one of his top picks for Korean mobile releases, is gearing up for a global launch. Developer Bilibili Games certainly made a big splash at the Taipei Games Show, not only with the announcement but with a whole lot more to show off.
So, what exactly is Trickcal Re:Vive? This isn't your typical RPG; it's a turn-based, card-collecting game that dives deep into an absurdist world. You step into the shoes of a protagonist who suddenly finds themselves leading a global religion, recruiting from over fifty different apostles. It's a refreshing change from the usual melodramatic fare.
Despite the epic storyline, Trickcal Re:Vive doesn't take itself too seriously. It's packed with humor, featuring everything from cute anime characters to nods at popular games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto. The game is a delightful mix of sublime and silly subplots that keep you entertained.
The Taipei Games Show was a testament to the game's over-the-top absurdity, with a specially wrapped Ferrari Itasha shuttling guests around Taipei. Alongside this, there were mountains of merchandise and the big reveal of the global launch. It's clear that Bilibili Games and Epid Games have high hopes for Trickcal Re:Vive's success on the global stage.
As for the release date, it's still up in the air. We know it's coming, but with development still ongoing, your guess is as good as mine. My prediction? Late 2025 or early 2026 seems likely, though a mid-2025 release isn't out of the question. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting mobile game!
